Can you walk out of an Apple store with anything but the "standard" configuration iMacs? And, if so, do they install the upgrades, or are they available in sealed boxes with different configurations? Naturally, it's all about being impatient. I'm really getting itchy for a 20" iMac, but I think I'd want to upgrade the HD, and the RAM.

The Apple Store carries the standard models. They will upgrade the RAM at the store, unfortunately they won't upgrade the HD for you. For that you'd have to order online. Occasionally they do get in some upgraded models, but this is not something to count on.

Thanks very much. It probably won't hurt to call or stop in, but I expect I'll probably end up ordering and waiting.
